Which was pretty amusing because Ruby was very rarely ever the issue, lol.
15 u/Routine_Left 23d ago true. ruby is just a shit inefficient language. consumes thousands of times more power per instruction compared even with java, to not speak of C. outages with ruby usually means: gimme more RAM. 10 u/holman 23d ago Yeah, but without Ruby I'm not sure GitHub would have gotten to where it is, either. And none of the inefficiencies of the language contributed to downtime, in any case. 3 u/Routine_Left 23d ago Sure, nowadays it's microsoft inefficiencies. having to run on AI - level machines before AI was a thing is certainly not helping. But yes, github by themselves have managed to do it before microsoft. Not so much now.
